Take these broken wings

Whenever I hear the song "Broken Wings" by Mr. Mister, I feel like playing GTA vice city. I know the game is old as moses, and I know most of you readers where in diapers when it came out, but I like my retro games. 8-)

Already drinking and driving (legally) well before that came out.
And funny you should call it a retro, when vice city itself was making a lot of retro gamer jokes.

And more than half the members on this board used to play original Elite in the mid 80's.

Most of the people who play Elite are in their 30's I think. This board has a very high average age, I believe as Tor said. I'd probably estimate around 45-55 years old.
I was 20 when it came out but its not really my style.

I remember playing the original GTA which was the most fun of the bunch to me :)

As for Elite, i learned about the franchise way after Elite Dangerous was out. This one went way under the radar in my books, crazy...

I remember Starion, the vectors were better than Elites, but.... it just didn't have a good enough radar.
